by Contributor

Finding a gun or firearm to buy these days is hard enough, let alone buying a cheap gun. Buying a firearm online may be more convenient and opens up a larger selection to choose from. There are laws and rules to follow when buying a firearm but you can still purchase a firearm online. Follow these steps to buy a firearm online.

First find a site in which you want to buy the firearm from. It should be a reputable firearm dealer with a good Better Business Bureau reputation. Browse the site and find a firearm that you wish to purchase. Check the value of the gun before you buy it. This will keep you from spending too much on a gun, or maybe even help you score a great deal on a gun. There are several gun appraisal sites online.

Once you decide on the gun you need to check the rules and laws that the site is enforcing. Some sites will require you to go to a FFL dealer and fax them the information regarding the firearm. Then the site will send the firearm to the FFL dealer where you can pick it up.

When you apply to purchase a gun you will need to fill out a criminal background check. Depending on the dealer, this can be instantaneous or it may take 24 hours to receive a response.

Another alternative to purchasing a firearm online is to check the local online classifieds. You can purchase a firearm from a private third party without going through any paperwork. If the firearm is registered to the person selling it, they are responsible for the firearm until the name is transferred to the new gun owner.
